ExplicitWotW: This Means War

Nany proves herself to be a master of the game, realizing the British alliance proves a real threat. Will she and Wes be able to break up the alliance and drive a wedge into the game? The Challenge this week involves VR and go-pros, and is harder than..

I'm gonna publish this episode and go to bed. It's been super fun! But hey, alliances are stressed, people go home, there's a challenge and more. I have nothing else interesting to say about this one. Enjoy it while I go to bed and sleep. Bye.

This episode we see a mini-final which is a great way to see who will do well in a REAL final. The Challengers have to run up a dune and solve a puzzle, and we see some Challengers crack under the pressure. One Challenger almost quits, another...

They weren't lying about that double elimination, but before we get that, we get the normal Challenge and see a rivalry come to a head. Sorta. Kinda. Before security breaks it up, I mean. Cara is betrayed by someone she was close to, a Challenge...

The much hyped episode has dropped! We see old rivalries die and new potential ones form. We’re still adjusting to actually seeing the standard Challenge format of challenge, nominations, elimination with a little drama thrown in. Wes shows himself to

We recap our visit to Challenge Mania and went over our stories of meeting Challenge "celebrities", but more importantly meeting other Challenge fans and listeners of Challenged. We rehash this episode including goodies like what a jerk Zach is, an...

We're so excited to be back and we're ready for Season 33! We have our first challenge of the season, a purge, and the standard craziness that comes with the Challengers arriving at their new house. We don't learn much about the format of this season...

Hey, we're back for more! Did you miss us? We're back from our hiatus and ready to talk about Season 33, War of the World, the cast, and predictions on format, speculating who wins and what potential alliances will form between the vets and the...

Have you missed Challenged yet? We're still on hiatus until Challenge returns, but until then you can listen to Tim's guest spot on Couch Pilots reviewing a failed pilot called Time Out for Ginger. Thanks to the Couch Pilot guys for inviting the...

Have you missed us on Challenged yet? Well Bryan and Amanda got a chance to sit in on an episodes of Couch Pilots and if you are a fan of Amanda's laugh you'll get plenty of it this episode.
S16 EP08 "ZERO EFFECT"
COUCHPILOTSPODCAST.COM *...

It's finally the final episode of the finale! We go over the reunion, take your phone calls, and talk about offense language. We also go on a self-congratulatory segment about our 100th episode that happened several weeks ago. Thanks everyone for your..

We thought this would be the last episode of Challenged this year, but (in TJ voice) we LIED. I guess we'll be back next week. This time around we discuss the finale, Tim's random run-in with a Challenge legend in an airport, and Hillary sits in...

We're winding down to the finale with the final 5 teams. We get a shocking last challenge with trivia and everything. That's trivia twice in a season! The final elimination of the season is curdled milk and cookies. We finally see the final 4 on their..

We're getting near the end of this season, but we're still bringing people back from Redemption for their last, final, no-nonsense chance at ONE MILLION DOLLARS! After 2 eliminations to see who comes back from Redemption, some teams are sent home and...

Lots of switching between the Main House and Redemption House this week, and even with a Purge challenge and elimination we don't see anyone go home. An elimination gets all the players frustrated, a nomination is hard to predict with the power vote...

We get two elimination competitions in this episode! But one of them is for the Redemption House and we learn that the Redemption House is still a thing! Lots of past relationship drama and name calling but we do get to see some people punch some...

It was supposed to be a quick episode, but it didn't work out that way I guess. Alliances are picking sides as the teams dwindle in size. Cara and Marie have to fight their way out of a time deficit in the challenge, then fight for their place in the...

In a house divided, which alliances will survive? Zach and Amanda especially are torn between different alliances and it really makes their game pretty difficult. Another team is being pulled in two directions to sway the game. We get mercenaries,...

We finally get a full rotation of drama, eliminations, nominations, and a challenge. It's a little out of order but that's ok. We try to solve the world's problems and equality between Hunter and Ashley, and hey, it's never ok to try to take out...

Challenge Throwdown Events ended with a whimper. In this "very special" episode of Challenged we talk about Grunt Guy, the organizer of the Challenge Throwdown events and cover recent drama related to the events, tossing out personal stories about the..

Drama drama everywhere. This episode draws some lines in the sand between Challengers we like and Challengers we can barely tolerate. The eating challenge ends in a predictable way, and a pair end up in Redemption to make amends. That goes about as...

*ch ch* REDEMPTION HOUSE. This week is all about the Redemption House and the Apocalypse that actually sends people home for once! CT tries his best to stay in the game, but maybe not as hard as Derrick tries. At this stage in the game, I guess you...

We interrupt this regular podcast feed for an episode of Couch Pilots! Wolfie and Tim join the flight as the regular pilots review Boise Brothers, a failed pilot put together by Challenge contestants Abram and Mike to hopefully sell MTV on a reality...

It's guy's night, so grab your whiskey and cowboy hat and leave the women at home. We're super efficient as we recap this episode but still cover a lot of ground. A nomination, a desperate Banana, a crazy elimination and a dramatic re-enactment of...

Eight episodes in and I have a very important question: Will anyone ever be sent home? The mercenaries play for a spot in the house, but let's be honest… they're getting into the game either way because if they lose, it's Redemption House time. We see

Killer Queen Kam is the lady with the plan in this episode, but c'mon MTV, are you ever gonna send anyone home? We see the Challengers dig out of a mine, a relationship between Tori and Derrick comes to a head, and Brad finally blinks. All this and...

We're not thrilled about the pace of this season, but we'll keep bringing you the latest 'cause we love you. Too much drama up in here, too many relationships to follow, and too many people throwing hissy fits. But it's ok. We see a challenge on a...

Poor Brad deals with the bad news from the Redemption House, while the rest of the Challengers prepare for a Purge Challenge. We get relationship drama we don't care about, team drama we're too old for, and reminisce of the days when we used to get a...

It's a shorter episode tonight due to an oncoming illness, but at least we have NyQuil is if beer isn't on the menu. Of course we cover Paulie and the silly fight, Brad's reaction to potential infidelity, and the process to get back into the house...

Today is a very special day for Challenged. Many lessons learned. We are joined by Fear Factor experts from Couch Pilots to discuss the latest episode of Fear Factor starring CT, Cara, Jordan, and Tori. We discuss the episode as well as get...

We're here with another recap. Lots of house drama as Cara and Kyle suck Faith and Paulie into their relationship drama, Cara then pisses off her partner, and find out how nominations and eliminations are going to work this season. All this and more

Wooo! Things go crazy this week in the Big Brother House. We get some temper tantrums, some bold faced lies, some false call outs, and some discussion about racism. A lot to digest so this is a loooooong episode.
Do us a favor and head over to...

We get a look at some of the drama in the Redemption House. Then we finally discover who is going to be Johnny's partner. The contestants engage in a swingtastic Challenge after which we learn who is safe and who is not in eliminations this season.

This week we get Kaitlyn making a big move and causing Team Foute to be surprised by a backdoor eviction. The one who helped bring it about gets HOH and it all culminates in a big argument about how many left handed people there are in the world. ...

Hey, it's the first episode of a new season! We're excited to see old favorites and dreading meeting new idiots. As usual, we cover the challenge, the elimination, and the drama. We disagree on Cara's promiscuity but we're all on board for the...

We're back with a look at Week 2 in the Big Brother house. Have any new alliances been made? Any new Showmances happened? Who got evicted and who is the new HoH? Find out. Also we play some controversial clips from the first few weeks in the B

It's the first episode of Evicted! A new podcast all about Big Brother. It's the first week in the house and we cover the compeitions, alliances, and even some hook ups. All this with a robot on the show! Welcome to Evicted!

Buckle up, kids. The third part of The Challenge trilogy starts July 10. To prepare, your favorite Challenge podcast goes over the new cast, pairs, talks about theories on potential formats. We steer clear of spoilers except for casting spoilers, so...

Well, we made it. Another season finale. Who puts on frozen clothes the fastest? Who eats the most gross food? Do the dad bods stand a chance against professional athletes? All these questions and more are answered. Also our interview with Laurel...

We're winding down this season of Champs vs Stars and preparing for Final Reckoning. Wes shows what kind of mastermind he is and why he's the greatest Challenge politician of all time. Louise and Casper face an uphill challenge to get to the final....

Fan-favorite and one of the best players to play the game, Darrell is in the house! We ask the standard questions, but we also had to squeeze in some questions about Sarah Greyson, the Gauntlet Queen and one of my favorite players. Darrell was a super..

Melinda asked us to get a little weird with it, and we did. I think we made her a little uncomfortable, but that’s ok because she did the same to us. Or at least she tried. We haven’t seen Melinda on the show for quite some time, but we were still..

This week we find out which team Booby is sending into the Elimination. Also a Champ has a tirade and accuses another team of cheating. After that we find a twist that lowers the competition to just 4 teams.

We weren’t sure what to make of Nicole exactly, but her over-the-top presence we see on TV made for quite the charming, interesting and exciting interactions we had at the Challenge Throwdown for the Cause event. She was very candid maybe a bit drunk.

Let’s be honest, our podcasts are not competitors, so we love having Derrick on a show other than Challenge Mania. Word of warning, this was quite late in the night and many drinks were had, leading to some distraction and some nonsense. Challenged...

Thanks to Jordan for taking time out of his evening during the Challenge Throwdown event to talk to us about horror movies, his production company, his motorcycles and more. Unfortunately Tori D. wasn't able to join him on this trip, or we could've...

We're taking a short break from interviews for this episode, where we sat down with other fans of The Challenge at the Throwdown for the Cause event in Yorkville. This is Kelly's first live appearance on the show, so give her a hand! Also joining us...

We're back with a look at what happens when people stop being friends and start learning to swim. This episode we learn about the twist that the Miz left us on at the end of the last episode and we learn who can swim and who can't.

More interviews from the Challenge Throwdown for the Cause event in Yorkville! This time we sat down with Tori Hall and Ashley Kelsey. Ashley was the captain for Hillary's volleyball team, so you could say we're all basically best friends now. We ask...

Thanks to Laurel for sitting down with us in Yorkville Illinois to answer some questions about The Challenge, but more importantly the shows she watches on Netflix. Forensic Files for life. We also touch on her episode of Fear Factor and her one...

We were lucky enough to sit down and chat with Cohutta at the Challenge Throwdown for the Cause event in Yorkville, Illinois. We talked about many topics, from toilet paper to cell phones to careers and his cousin Jill. He also shares some of that...

Yeah, it's another sausage fest up in here. We have a special guest, Zach, for this bite-sized podcast without notes that we go over out of order. We almost got Tori to watch us live, but I guess we failed. Wes is struggling to maintain his place in...

No girls allowed! It's just the men of Challenged tonight, and you know what that means. A short show, no notes, no prep work and lots of distractions. We talk Tori, Ashley, Aneesa and the drama involved with all of them. Wes tries and fails to start...

It's a very special episode of Challenged with Hill's first time hosting and a special appearance by a 5-year-old fighting bedtime. We may be distracted, but I think we do a stellar job of covering the Champs and Stars divisions and the...

It's time for some life sized Shuffle Board! We get to see the fall out of Kaihla cursing, Hennisey predictably goes a little crazy, and the Stars seem to be forming a plan to take over the game. Lots of fun stuff this episode.

We're loosey-goosey in our coverage of Champs vs Stars. I mean, do we even talk about this episode? I've had too many beers to know I guess, but it's nice to see some of the Champs return. We like the division of the Champs even more, and the teams...

We took a break because the finale was terrible. C'mon MTV, stop making us wait to see the winner of The Challenge, we just find spoilers anyway. Zach and Hillary are here to help host, and we cover the winner of Vendettas. Spoiler, it's Cara Maria....

The remaining cast heads off to Prague to prepare for the finale. We see them dodge pylons and the stacked men's team means we kick off some men in maybe unfair ways. The Troika is finally stacked with some females who save some men in a way you may...

We're winding down in the season now, so the game is heating up. We see some Challengers stabbing each other in the back, others sticking with their alliances even though it means they'll get thrown in. 2 people head home and the rest go to the Czech...

Technical problems continue to plague the show, but don't worry. We find a way to deliver a full episode. Devin is still coming down from his nirvana experience, but has a rude awakening and major disappointment. Natalie continues to play everyone's...

One of the greatest episodes of The Challenge ever! Alliances are crushed as friends have to make very tough decisions to advance their game. Rivalries are reinforced and everyone's games gets shook. Mean girls are no fun, and MTV does not endorse...

We know Marie went in last week, but who is she going up against? Kam is a traitor and not good at this game, and you can feel free to tweet hatred at us for that comment. The rest of the crew plays some soccer wearing stilts and zorbs, and we see a...

The mercenaries come in to wreak havoc on our poor Challengers while Kam does her best Fire Marshall Bill impression. A new challenge proves very difficult for everyone, with broken glass and stitches and ambulance rides galore.

We get to see Brad and the selected Challenger enter an elimination. We do find out who is leaving the notes in Britni's bed. Some drama in the kitchen makes Devin and Banana's vendetta even stronger. And in the elimination TJ drops a surprise on.

WHO IS THE BLURRY FIGURE WHO LEFT THE NOTES? The world may never know, but that won't stop us from speculating. We see a Challenge this week. It's underwater and at night. But no elimination. Maybe one of these weeks we'll see a full episode. This...

Well, it's a filler episode but maybe, just maybe it means next week we'll get a challenge and an elimination. The rookie girls get riled up and fight, and we don't really see much else going on otherwise. This elimination will go down as one of the...

Pizzagate isn't just a weird alt-right conspiracy theory. It's also an episode of The Challenge, where Brad comes back as his intense, passionate self and starts a half-million dollar fight over pizza. Was it worth it? We get trivia and a food...

It's our goal this time around to make sure our recaps take less time than watching the actual episode. Do we succeed? Hell yes. We always do. We see a pathetic showing of an elimination and get some real-time behind the scenes about the elimination....

Well, we finally made it to the end of Champs vs. Stars. This poor show got lost in the other Challenge mayhem, overlapping the end of Dirty Thirty and the beginning of Vendettas. So far, the Champs have swept the series. Will that continue, or will...

What in the world is a troika? And how do you pronouce it? We finally get some details on how this game works, including the troika, the inquisition, and the Ring. But what is the grenade and how is it used? I guess we figure it out eventually.

Our coverage of Champs vs. Stars has been demoted to a short aftershow in the wake of Vendettas. This week we cover the purge in the swimming challenge and at least some of the Challengers who are on their way to the final next week.

It's a super-ultra long episode of Challenged to accompany the premiere of Vendettas. We love seeing midlife crisis Brad, as well as the new Challengers from other random shows in the US and UK. We have
to intro a bunch of newbies to this insane game...

The Champs are heading for a shutout clean sweep, but can the Stars stop them? Are alliances strong enough to withstand a vote that may not go as intended? This episode is all about strength. Who is the strongest player, but more importantly, the...

Challenged was fortunate enough to meet all the Challengers in Yorkville at the first event for Throwdown for the Cause. In this episode we talk about the event and our experiences in meeting Bananas, Cara Maria, Brad, Kelly Anne, Britni, Derrick,...

ZACH ATTACK IS BACK. We have a special guest host standing up for Bananas during the conflict with Bananas vs. Wes. The group plays human foosball and of course can't do anything without major conflicts.

We attended the Throwdown for the Cause in Yorkville, Illinois and had the fortune of meeting many Challengers. Unfortunately we had little luck in getting interviews, but Kelly Anne and Britni were nice enough to spend a little time chatting with us...

Hashtag BringHillaryBack2017 worked, and Hillary joins us. We get a new Challenger entering the game to replace the many who had to leave. An alliance breaks out on the Stars team, but do they have the numbers to change the game? Will the Stars...

In this special bonus episode of Challenged Bryan plays a game show with his other co-hosts called DID CT SAY IT? He reads off 15 quotes in his best CT voice and the others have to say if it's a quote from CT or did another Challenge member say it. .

The contestants are dropping like flies and it seems like everyone wants to go into elimination. Drama drama everywhere on the stars team, including a bodyguard who can't tell if an injury is an accident or not.

Will we ever get a break from The Challenge? Maybe not. But this season is shaping up to be one of the best, despite only being a "mini season". We get drama, a challenge, nomination and an elimination… all in one episode. Also, someone goes nuts....

It's been a long season, but we made it. Finally. Well, sorta. We're not going to know who wins until next week, but that doesn't stop us from speculating this time around. Also, meet us (and some Challenge people) in Yorkville, IL next month.

We finally get all the challengers eliminated down to the final 6. Does #TeamHunny have a representative in the final? Also we switch locations, an injury could take a finalist out of the race, and we place some sticks and stones. Mainly just ston

The big twist is finally revealed. We see a Redemption Challenge which is supposed to be the last, but c'mon, you can't fool us. We get to see our first couple finalists, and we fall out of love with one of our favorite challengers while falling in...

It's crybaby episode part two, but things are heating up and people are quickly heading to the Redemption House. The Challenge may have been lackluster, but the elimination was intense and crazy. We're winding down this season and are excited to see...

It's a crybaby episode! A burn vote turns out to change the game forever. The dumb Redemption House is still in play, so once again no one was sent home. Despite these issues, this is maybe still one of the best episodes we've seen so far.

I guess we're #teamHunny now. Veronica earns her stripes this episode, as if she hasn't done enough in the last 20 seasons of the show. CT finally loses a Challenge, and unfortunately it's one of the highest stake Challenges yet. Tony and Hunter start..

Another live episode. I hope we're working out the bugs. Hunter is a crybaby who starts fights and gets dumped. I mean, seriously, is there a worse person than Hunter? Well, maybe Nelson who also starts fights. Another XXX episode that is high on...

It's guys night at Challenged, so we do this efficiently this time around. But we're lacking notes, so it's a pretty off-the-cuff show. Camila has been edited out of the Challenge, and the Redemption House gets a second change by eating a bunch of...

Is Camila a racist? Uh…. yeah. Of course she is. But Leroy is a saint. It's a special episode of Challenged this week as half the podcast is on vacation. Some technical difficulties this time around but hopefully they're not too distracting. Oh, also,

Tony and Camila are both dogs. We get the much-loved trivia challenge, but it falls flat with a lot of filler and answers with no questions. The crew prepares to meet some Challengers. Follow us on social media stuff. We're not to proud to beg. Wanna...

We almost get the perfect episode with a challenge, drama and elimination. An unfortunate event cuts the elimination short, but hey, there's always next week. We push the boundaries of politically correct speech this week.

Tim and Hill are back, and so is everyone else from the Redemption House. The gang battle it out over water. Who will be redeemed? It's a short episode since all we're discussing today is the Challengenation.

This week we're down two co-hosts so Amanda and Bryan venture forth alone to tell the tales of this week's Challenge XXX: Dirty Thirty. We talk about some drunken shenanigans, if Tony is actually a good player, and state multiple times that Nelson is.

We finally see The Presidio and see what in the world a double-cross is all about. We see CT's Dad Bod destroy the competition and discuss Aneesa's body slam. Some new person that we don't care about goes home. What was her name again?

It's drama overload with love triangles and physical altercations in the Redemption House. Cory is making everyone mad while others are enjoying Tuesday Tinis. We see a little of the nomination process, but in MTV fashion do not see an elimination or...

Tonight we discuss the premiere of Dirty Thirty including the cast, the quitters, the forgotten and overlooked old-timers who have returned. We try our best to avoid spoilers as we speculate about the rest of the season. Get pumped. It's Dirty Thirty.

It's episode 0 for the 30th season of The Challenge. We run down the cast for this season, speculate on the format, and give our hopes for who comes out the victor and participants we hope to see go home right away.

ExplicitMovie Break: The Scorned with Tonya, Trishelle and Steven Hill

We're on hiatus from The Challenge, so the crew sits down to discuss the forgotten horror movie, The Scorned starring Challenge alum Trishelle, Tonya and Steven. No drama this time around, or challenges or eliminations, but we do discuss blood and...

It's the Champs Vs. Pros finale, so we discuss vomiting, running, and of course the winners and losers of this mini-season. We also dive into the bizarre Challenge microgame promoting Universal Studios. We also do our first Classic Challenge Moment...

We see Lolo decide who to go against in the latest elimination, then see the whole crew play a game of memory and telephone. We say goodbye to some of our favorite Champs and Pros. We also say goodbye to an old cast member who is no longer with us.

It's finally the finale and we're here to break it out. We review the final, our favorite contestants, challenges and eliminations of the season. This officially wraps up Season 29 of The Challenge and Season 1 of Challenged. See you all next week for..

We were out last week, but we make it up to you with this two-fer presenting the last 2 episodes. The Final begins, and as TJ says, it's no joke. This episode we cover Nelson's near death experience and Cory's infinite disappointments.

We finally see the end of the Underdog eliminations and say goodbye to our favorite Underdog. The Champs fight for their last chance to pad out their team bank account. We start our final Champ elimination, but as per usual do not finish it.
We're...

IT'S AN UNDERDOG BLOODBATH! We finally get to say goodbye to our least favorite Challengers, and see some drama along the way. We check out screen caps of the Nelson/Shane/Cory elimination and dissect them to see how bad a player Nelson is. We're...

We finish the Bananas vs. Darrell elimination, and the Cara Maria vs. Laurel. The lesbian love triangle has been resolved but that doesn't stop drama in the club. We watch the Challengers jump from inner tube to inner tube, but no eliminations. Next...

It's a Champ elimination day, and the crew fights over a rope on a tilting platform to stay alive. A lesbian love triangle shakes up the house. An elimination is cut short and no one is sent home… yet.

New to the challenge and this podcast

LuffynChestersmom29

I have been really loving this podcast. Just started watching the challenge this season (I know crazy) but I LOVE it and love listening to your pod on my way to work and school thanks—great recap especially for me new to the show.

AMAZING AND HILARIOUS

by
Hilldawg12

I want to say thank you so much for starting this podcast. The chemistry between you 3 is amazing and has me wanting to listen every week. I have been in love with The Challenge since the days of Coral, Katie, Jodi, Landon, Rachel, Abram, etc. So, I love being able to listen to a podcast with people who love the show just as much as I do. Amanda, your laugh is one for the books. Honestly, the best laugh I have ever heard. Tim, you are hilarious and it cracks me up every time you mention you met Bananas in an airport and that you hugged Wes. Bryan, your sound effects are hilarious and it cracks me up how much you hate Bananas. But for real, PAULIE AND ASHLEY are the WORST. Just wanted to say thank you for doing this podcast every week. I love the Facebook group too! 💕

PS. I would stay up and listen to y’all go live but I would get way too drunk and be too hungover to go to work the next day.

That new sound board is AMAZING
